Aug.7 Pope Benedict XVI told a group of priests yesterday that he was once more severe in terms of administering baptism and confirmation to ill-prepared or lukewarm candidates, but today hes inclined to be generous wherever there is even a flicker of desire for communion in the faith.

Maybe when Archbishop Burke grows up he too will be more generous and more of the mind of Christ.

Being ill-informed, ill-catechized, or just lazy spiritually is a far, far cry from the sin of abortion. Abortion is one of the great offenses against the Holy Spirit.

The juxtaposition of a lukewarm Catholic who is lazy about his faith and those who support the murder of the infant-in-utero is not comparable.
